A novel intervention to reduce noninfectious and infectious complications associated with indwelling urethral catheters in hospitalized older patients: a quasi-experimental study

BMC Geriatrics, 2022
Background Indwelling urethral catheters are widely used in clinical settings. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection has been recognized as a common adverse event in older patients.

Types of indwelling urethral catheters for short-term catheterisation in hospitalised adults.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2014
BACKGROUND Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common hospital-acquired infection. The major associated cause is indwelling urethral catheters. Several measures have been introduced to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs ...

How users of indwelling urinary catheters talk about sex and sexuality: a qualitative study

The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 2014
Background An indwelling urinary catheter can solve the problem of incontinence and may be life-saving in individuals with retention, but it can cause problems such as infection and may have a negative impact on body image, sex, and sexuality.

Microbiome signatures in neonatal central line associated bloodstream infections.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Neonates are at high risk for central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Biofilm formation is universal on indwelling catheters but why some biofilms seed the bloodstream to cause CLABSI is not clearly understood. With the objective to test

A Bead‐Based Quantum Dot Immunoassay Integrated with Multi‐Module Microfluidics Enables Real‐Time Multiplexed Detection of Blood Insulin and Glucagon

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The quantum dot integrated real‐time ELISA or QIRT‐ELISA system integrates a bead‐based quantum dot‐mediated immunoassay (BQI) with a modular microfluidic system to continuously monitor insulin and glucagon in whole blood samples and in a multiplexed setting.

Decolonization potential of 0.02% polyhexanide irrigation solution in urethral catheters under practice-like in vitro conditions

BMC Urology, 2018
Background Long-term use of indwelling urethral catheters is associated with high risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) and blockage, which may in turn cause significant morbidity and reduce the life of the catheter.

Dialysis access as a source of infective endocarditis in dialysis patients

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2020
The incidence of Infective Endocarditis (IE) is higher in dialysis patients compared to the general population. A major risk factor for IE in this group stems from bacterial invasion during repeated vascular access.

Using a criteria-based reminder to reduce use of indwelling urinary catheters and decrease urinary tract infections.

American Journal of Critical Care, 2013
BACKGROUND Duration of indwelling urinary catheterization is an important risk factor for urinary tract infection. OBJECTIVES To determine whether a reminder approach reduces the use of urinary catheters and the incidence of catheter-associated urinary

Coactosin‐Like Protein Reduces Prostaglandin D2 Production in Alveolar Macrophages and Alleviates Allergic Airway Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coactosin‐like protein inhibits prostaglandin D₂ (PGD2) secretion by modulating alveolar macrophage polarization, thereby suppressing activation of the PGD2 receptor CRTH2 in Th2‐associated immune cells and alleviating allergic airway inflammation.
